Xi Ning wanted to chase after him. Someone from the mercenary group came and took a look: "This... Your Majesty? Are you okay? That kid didn't wear a mask today, so I will teach him..."
"Don't go, I'm okay." Xi Ning stopped him, and when he turned his head to look over, there was no more figure.
The man next to him looked like a high-ranking member of a mercenary group. Xi Ning asked, "Is he yours? What's his name?"
"Yes, the new servant," the man replied, "His Majesty Ferro hired most of our regiment. The head of the regiment was worried about the lack of manpower on the road, so he hired some temporarily. The name... seems to be Lin An?"
He went on to say: "His appearance would not have passed, but the regiment leader took the lead... By the way, your highness, my name is Rob, I am a Tier 5 fire magician in the regiment..."
Xi Ning belongs to the wood family and is also a forest elf. He has an instinctive rejection of people or things with fire attributes. He takes a step back without a trace: "Thank you."
He muttered the words "Lin An" silently, then turned and returned to the table.
The dinner was ready, and the vegetarian food specially prepared for Xi Ning was placed on his side. Filo did not dine with everyone, and went to the carriage alone.
At Xi Ning's table, he and the dwarf were the only people sitting at the table. The dwarf lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty must have gone to eat and talked with the queen again. It is a touching love."
Xi Ning was thinking about Lin An, and absently responded.
Lin An is an ordinary slave, and it shouldn't have any effect if he asks people to come over, but he is not familiar with the mercenary group and has to trouble Filo.
The dwarf curled his mouth, bowed his head and ate a few mouthfuls of food, but couldn't help his mouth that wanted to talk: "Why did you suddenly leave before eating? I haven't finished telling the story of that evil magician..."
Xi Ning finally had a reaction, and smiled apologetically to him: "It was just me that was not good, what happened to that magician?"
The dwarf immediately came to the spirit and said that the magician was Locke. The forest they were going to was Locke’s old nest. It is said that he had done a lot of evil things before and grabbed a lot of treasures, all hidden in his tower. Among.
Later Locke gradually disappeared. No one knew where he was, but some people remembered the treasures in his tower. However, it was too dangerous to avoid the forest. Apart from the various ferocious beasts in the forest, there were many traps under Locke.
The tall tower can be seen from the place where the field of vision is widened, but unfortunately it seems that no one has ever successfully entered.
"The red frost flower I saw grows on a grass next to a lake," the dwarf recalled the scene at that time, and even scratched, "I was observing whether the root system of the flower was dead, and suddenly the lake A huge Tier 3 crocodile rushed out, one mouth could swallow ten me! I was so scared that I ran away quickly."
He also talked about the boiling bogs that spit bubbles all the year round, the third-order long warbler that only eats eyeballs, and the jagged monsters that specialize in picking up human bones.
The dwarf picked up the glass and drank the sweet wine in it, sighing: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but it's too dangerous inside. If it's not for His Majesty Fero begged me for a long time, I wouldn't want to go to that ghost place again."
Of course, remuneration and prepared troops are also very important.
At the end of the dwarf's talk, many people gathered around him, all listening to him telling stories, and others were asking him questions. Xi Ning finished the meal in silence and left the dining shed when the dwarf was not paying attention.
The two servants who were in charge of serving him led him to the carriage, and Xi Ning asked on the road: "Where is your Majesty Ferro? I want to find him if I have something to do."
The servant took out his pocket watch to check the time, and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty should be still having a meal. Why don't you go back to the carriage to rest first, and I will report to your Majesty."
Xi Ning replied: "Okay."
No wonder Filo failed to find Lin An with his portrait, his face...
After seeing Lin An, Xi Ning's original joy faded a lot. Whether Lin An's face was born or the day after tomorrow, he must have suffered a lot, and now he is still a mercenary. Servant of the regiment.
The servant had already gone to find Ferro, Xi Ning did not want to go back to the carriage, and stood in a daze under the tree in the dim sky. His emotions affected the surrounding vegetation. The tree beside him only gave birth to a ignorant consciousness and wanted to do something. Can't move again.
It dropped a leaf and slowly floated to Xi Ning's eyes. Xi Ning seemed to feel something, and raised his hand to catch the leaf and held it in the palm of his hand.
Xi Ning touched its trunk with the other hand, raised his head and whispered, "Thank you."
But he was not at all happy. He had been in this world for several days. The effects of the illness made him always unhappy. In order not to worry other elves, he had to behave as normal as possible when he was outside.
Xi Ning didn't really feel joy until seeing Lin An just now. What flowers and tasks were not important anymore. He seemed to be here for Lin An.
Ferro received a notification from his servant, thinking Xi Ning had something important, and came here in person.
Xi Ning greeted him and said to him: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to do me a favor."
"You said, I'll tell someone to do it right away."
Xi Ning said that before dinner, he saw a servant in the mercenary group. The right half of his face was covered with traces for some reason, and he was easy to recognize.
Ferro raised his eyebrows: "This person ran into your Highness? I'll let the captain drive him out..."
"It's not..." Xi Ning hurriedly stopped him, and said bluntly: "I want to...send him from the mercenary group to be my personal guard."
Ferro was very surprised, and tentatively asked Xi Ning: "His Royal Highness met him?"
Xi Ning said vaguely: "Forget it, I'm not familiar with the mercenary group, so I can only trouble you. Just deduct the ransom from the remuneration."
He obviously didn't want to talk more, so Ferro didn't ask any more, and waved his hand with a smile: "What did your Highness say about this."
Ferro turned his head and said to the head guard behind him: "I heard you all? Go to the head of the regiment, and bring this person to your Highness."
"Yes." The chief guard walked to the rear of the team after he got off, Xi Ning said gratefully: "Thank you."
After Filo left, Xi Ning sat at the door of the carriage and waited for a long time, but the chief guard never brought anyone over. He couldn't resist the sleepiness and went in to sleep for a while.
This sleep was one night. When Xi Ning opened his eyes, it was already dawn. Everyone packed their things and prepared to leave, and the chief guard came to see him.
Xi Ning pushed the car door, but did not see the figure he wanted to see. The chief guard stood alone in front of the car: "Please forgive your sins..."
After hearing the explanation from the chief guard, Xi Ning remained silent for a while before speaking: "He doesn't want to come?"
The head guard replied: "Yes."
When he went to the team leader to explain his intentions last night, the team leader looked weird and asked, "What does the elf want him to do?"
The head of the bodyguard said he didn't know. The head hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "He won't go."
According to what Xi Ning said, Lin An was just a slave, so would the head of such an identity care about his own attitude
The head guard couldn't help asking, and the head rolled his eyes: "What kind of slave... Isn't our regiment advocating freedom and equality? If Lin An doesn't want to go, I won't hand him over. His Royal Highness is going to grab someone from me. Nothing?"
The mercenary group is not an ordinary organization. Fero asked them to escort them this time and spent a lot of thought and money. The chief guard was inconvenient to say anything, so he retired to the group leader.
Soon after he left, the group leader whispered to his subordinates, and Lin An quietly appeared at the door of the group leader's carriage before going to bed.
"What's up?"
Wearing a black full-face mask, he didn't look like a normal person at first glance in the dark. The head patted his heart: "... It's nothing big, but the forest elf's Royal Highness said that he wants you to be his guard."
Lin An stood at the door without moving for a while, and the head of the group said in a relaxed tone: "I have already turned down for you. Did he scare him when he saw your face today? I thought about it or tell you next time. Just stay away from him."
The commander thought simply. All creatures like elves are beautiful, they don't understand the world, and it's normal to not understand the ugly face. Xi Ning wants Lin An, mostly to bully him.
He is the only one here who knows Lin An's true identity. Lin An was a low-level servant when he was outside, and it was inconvenient to deal with troubles.
Lin An was wearing a mask and his expression was covered under the mask. The head of the group could only touch his moodless gaze. After a few breaths, Lin An replied, "I see."
He disappeared into the distance in a blink of an eye, and the captain got up and closed the door of the carriage himself.
Ordinary servants took their sleeping bags to find a place to sleep, lying in a row on the edge of the woods outside, Lin An passed them, climbed to the top of a tree, and rested on a thick branch.
He took off the mask and hung it aside, took out a folded piece of paper from his body, and slowly opened it.
On the paper are the portraits that Xi Ning had drawn by others, and Ferro later copied many copies and posted some on various streets.
The dense leaves shielded the moonlight tightly, and Lin An's face was completely hidden in the darkness.
He usually wears a mask most of the time. If someone is impressed, he will find that half of his face intact is at least eight or nine points similar to the face in the portrait.
Aura was condensed in his eyes, Lin An looked at it for a while, folded the portrait and put it back on the inner layer of his clothes, closing his eyes to rest.
The head of the regiment disagreed with Lin An's departure, and the head guard first reported the matter to Ferro.
Fei Luo was also a little embarrassed when he heard this. Xi Ning didn't say what to do with Lin An. It would not be easy for the head to directly refuse him in this way. It was already very late at that time, and he asked the Chief Guard to come back early the next morning. Go talk to Xi Ning.
Xi Ning asked, "He really doesn't want to come? Why?"
The head guard replied truthfully: "I didn't see Lin An himself last night. The head of the mercenary group said that he would not come. He also said that as long as Lin An disagrees, he will not let anyone go."
The convoy was about to start moving forward. The chief guard once again said sorry and retired to Xi Ning: "Don't worry, your majesty will find a way to negotiate with the team leader. If there is anything else you need, you just need to talk to the people around you. ."
He hurried away, and the servant helped to close the car door.
Xi Ning waited all night and thought he would be able to see him again. He didn't expect this to happen. He sat in the carriage and felt sad for a while.
"Why is he unwilling? Was it too sudden?"
He only saw Lin An for the first time yesterday, and didn't say a word to him. It's not normal to ask the other person to be his guard directly.
Feeling that the carriage had begun to move, Xi Ning opened the window and leaned on the window to look out.
The servants followed behind, Xi Ning's carriage was in the middle, it was impossible to see Lin An.
The system comforted: "Don't worry about the host, as long as he is in the convoy, he will meet again sooner or later."
Next to the carriage is the one who greeted him yesterday. Because Xi Ning ignored him last time, he changed his expression today and looked at Xi Ning carefully: "Your Highness... Are you looking for someone?"
Xi Ning showed half of his face, blowing the wind, and kept looking back. Hearing that, he met his gaze and responded: "Yeah."
He thought for a while and asked, "Can you do me a favor?"
The mercenary was very young and wrote everything on his face. He immediately patted his chest: "Of course, you can just say it."
"I want to see Lin An in your regiment," Xi Ning said, "I'm a servant with a black mark on his right face."
The mercenary scratched his head with a confused look: "I remember this man... What are you looking for?"
"Don't do anything, I have something to tell him."
Xi Ning added: "I just see him once, and I don't mean anything else, and I won't let him leave your group."
The mercenary rode a horse, and it didn't take much time to bring someone from behind. He looked back, nodded and agreed to Xi Ning: "Okay, I'll call him."
